POEMS COURTESY OF BLOSSOM

THERE ARE TREASURES INSIDE OF YOU.

Looking at all the things that didn’t go as planned,

We forget the things that went beyond our planning.

Beating ourselves up for little errors here and there,

Because according to us, we should have surpassed this by now.

And then again we lose track of all the things we did tremendously well with little or no knowledge about it.

Today, I encourage you to embrace the strength in you,

Even when time seems to fail you.

You have become light and are above the things that should sink you.

Acknowledge everything good that is embedded in you.

Never look down on anything that is you;

Not just because it’s you or embedded in you.

But also because your energy transcends, and radiates all of that bold, strong and energetic Individual that needs to shine for the whole world to see.

And always remember that; there are treasures inside of you.
